Breath Weapon (Su) A page servilis can exhale air with enormous strength as a full-round action, creating a 15-ft. long line that blow things away. The line extends from the page's space until the start of its following turn, though the servilis can continue to exhale in the following turn. Any Medium or smaller creatures or objects that stand or move through have to succeed a Fortitude saving throw (DC 11) or are pushed back 1d3 × 5 feet. Tiny or smaller creatures or objects are pushed back 5 ft. on a successful saving throw and 1d4+1 × 5 ft. on a failed save. Surprisingly, a page servilis can exclude objects it does not want to blow away, often using this ability to dust off things. The saving throw DC is Constitution-based.

Spatial Memory (Ex) A page servilis always perfectly remembers its way around the master's dwelling and it always remembers (though it might pretend otherwise) where it put any and all items.


Serviles (sing. servilis) are petty fiends formed of excess spiritual residue of the lower planes. They are submissive, groveling, cowardly, and mix laziness and desire to please powerful masters in an unpredictable degree. They are receptive to bribes and prone to malice and petty vindictiveness when not subdued with terror. When properly coaxed to work, they can be quite competent in their narrow field of expertise, though, despite all their complaints and attempts to evade hard work.

Page serviles are personal attendants, valets, runners, heralds, and aides to black magicians and fiends that adhere to more humanoid standards of behavior. They are stuffy, grumpy, disapproving, and often sarcastic. They do love commanding lesser serviles and other minions around, though, and use every opportunity to pose as superior to servants, clients, and petitioners to their masters.
